      Simplifying how to explain gravity
      1 - think of space as a fluid
      The mass of the earth dispersed space....
      Space compresses on earth...
      That's how gravity works, it is a push

But on the pure sense of a cat wouldn't be called a 'cat' or defined by its physical characteristics in the way we do, anywhere else in the universe - we do make the basic concept of a cat. I'm terrible at explaining things, but I hope that made at least a rice-grain of sense lol. Good morning, by the way.

      @@psychachu Things (Universe) will appear as they appear only if the form you seem to appear exists as it does. They are interconnected, your body is like an instrument wich creates this apparent Universe(experience) and vice versa.
      All there is, is an apparent experience happening, there is really no such things called 'real seperate things' or 'beings'. Seperation is just an assumption, a mis-understanding of the nature of Universe. And Universe is not in space or time, Universe (=all that can exist/ be precieved) equals ('your') mind.

    I love how many times Chuck Nice's jokes are so intuned with the conversation, if you were to ever try and use them on a friend by saying, "My problems must have no gravity, cuz when I let them go, they just stay there." You'd have to most likely have to explain the scientifical fact of the term 'let it go'.

    My favorite time alive so far being alive for the past 22 years besides my experiences with family, which I'm fortunate to have, is being in a classroom that provokes me to use my knowledge to the very point that it is no longer of use, and from that point, all I can do is become an open journal and absorb whatever new information that I have yet to acquire. Saddest moment was when I graduated college with a ridiculous amount of debt and realized going to school for more degrees isn't going to remove it so now I'm on the continuous job hunt that will allow me to go back to school while working.

      @@flimflama9333 I think there is no way for us to get to the answer, unfortunately. All that 'collective consciousness/temporary host' stuff could be true, and yet it does nothing to answer the question of "why is my current perspective from this body right now until it dies?" (and does it imply a different body after I die? If you believe in a 'collective consciousness' then it's not too far of a leap to get to reincarnation) ... I ask the question knowing full well there is probably no way for us to find the answer. It IS very frustrating - and a bit scary -- to discover that one of the greatest mysteries in the universe is the concept of 'yourself'.
      Having said all that -- I think about when we were 3 years old, we were not aware enough to know that we should ask where babies come from, physically. We just accepted that they appear one day. That was a complete story to us back then. When we were 7, we did not know we should ask what consciousness is - we just accepted that it is a thing that happens. When we were 11, we did not know enough to question 'the location of self'. You just accepted that you were you and that was enough information. As we matured, we gradually 'woke up' to the next question we should be asking. With all that in mind -- I wonder about which questions concerning our existence are we still too unaware to even know we should be asking? I know NDT talks about this question in a more general sense -- but for me this question is even more eye opening in this particular context of 'self'. Maybe in a later evolutionary stage in the future, the human mind will have the capacity to ask this question of 'local self' in a better way -- hopefully one that can reveal the answer. Until then, yes -- it's frustrating that all we can come up with basically amounts to ...

    The search for the meaning of life... it's different for each of us as we are each unique. Speaking for myself, meaning is derived from three things: have I helped today, have I learned from my search because this is the true prize, and have I accepted that there are questions that have no answers which I have continued to ask, knowing that there are no answers. Each of these is centered around humanity, how we view the world and how we act in it, how we center ourselves to the pursuit of knowledge, and how we engage with others in a helpful way. Despite the above, keeping in mind the tiny specs that we are, have we made a change that will affect the way that the universe unfolds?

      @@atlormerjo8830 Basically what the quote means, there are things we know for sure, and we _know_ that we know them. For example, we know that if you drop a ball, it falls to the ground because of gravity.
      Next, there are known unknowns. Basically, these are things that we don't know about, but we understand the fact that we don't know about them. For example, we know that dark matter exists and it has mass (and therefore has gravity), but we have no idea what dark matter actually is. It's an unknown, but we know that we don't know anything about it. For known unknowns, we ask questions, and eventually, figure out the answers.
      Finally there are unknown unknowns. These are basically just things that we haven't even discovered yet, so we don't even know how to ask questions about them. For example, if you were to go back a couple hundred years, dark matter would have been an unknown unknown. We weren't able to measure/estimate the mass of galaxies yet, so we hadn't discovered that there had to be some other invisible substance that gave galaxies their missing mass. We wouldn't have ever had to imagine dark matter back then, despite the fact that it certainly existed back then, just as it does now. So back, then, it was an unknown unknown, because we didn't know it existed at all.

    Say one day, you actually discover a way to see an element or form of matter or "non matter" that cannot be seen or received by any of our senses, but was discovered by a device or instrument. The device's way to see it is so obscure from our senses that we cant understand or comprehend anything about it what it shows us. How would you even prove this finding actually exists and can be an addition to what we know. Would it even be worth finding if it cant be researched in our current state of being?

    Omg someone actually asked, "If the universe need not make sense to us then what's the point of doing science?" hahaha that's hilarious! 😂
    Dude, scientific literacy is the most effective inoculate against those who try to BS you!
    If you know how to best use your given senses to accurately interpret the world in which you are presented, it makes it all the more difficult for you to buy into what someone else might try to tell you.
    You're less likely to buy something you don't need, or join some crazy religion or cult.
    You make better decisions in life, because you won't be wasting your time and hard-earned money on crap you don't need.
    You're less likely to fall for someone trying to pull the wool.
    THAT'S the point of, "doing Science," hahaha if you can figure out the way the physical world works, you can use that knowledge to exploit the laws of physics and improve your life, and possibly the lives of the people around you!
    The universe is under NO obligation to make sense to anyone.
